B&O Unleashed sounds..meh

[JoeyV]

Maybe I am just overthinking it, but just in case I will be bringing in the truck this weekend On the speaker test some of the speakers sounded much quieter and some were borderline off (notably speakers 6, 7 and 14)

How did you do the speaker test? My unleaded driver side head liner crackles but not the passenger side as much and I don't think I've ever heard the headrest ones

Hold next track on steering and stereo at the same time.

gave her a good run this morning
Joan Jett banging to do you wanna touch, followed by bad reputation. at 24 on the loud knob, with hearing aid

windows up. lady in front of me at light gave me evil eyes .
it sounded very good and showed how old i have become

had fade moved to just behind driver seat, surround on . treble mid and bass about 1/2

I too thought the BO unleashed stereo wasn't that great with OTA radio broadcasts and Sirius radio is really poor sounding. But when i used my Galaxy phone and Bluetooth with Amazon audio it was WAY BETTER! Donald Fagans "Night Fly" album was unbelievable!!!
High resolution streaming is the way to go with this system. I know I'm old school but I wish they still had CD players in the vehicle. I like my music load and clear and this system is a little lacking on the loudness but its OK for a stock radio. My best system was a Kenwood system back in the day in my 1988 Bronco. The best system I ever had in a vehicle.

I am now using Lossless audio with Apple Music. Nothing that great I think there is something actually wrong with my system unfortunately

UPDATE: Got modules updated and bigggg difference. Sound is louder and even clearer. Headrest/headliner speakers kicking in even more! Worth the wait.

I just want to thank everyone in here. I moved my balance to just behind center a little and put music on a usb stick and it's 10x better. I feel like I'm actually getting what I paid for kinda. I still get a crackling in the headliner speaker but it seems easy enough to replace.

Any crackling I have found coming from this speaker has been a lousy source issue

You're so full of sh!t. Don't spread that kind of BS in an otherwise very informative forum.
